Tim Mcmorris 'Overwhelmed'

The song "Stressed Out" by Twenty-One Pilots is a story about a struggling singer which seems familiar to the audience on a personal level. While exploring such sensitive topics as stress, becoming an adult, and nostalgia, it also touches upon the issue of originality. The understanding between the lead singer, Tyler Joseph, and the listeners is reached with the help of the themes, the tone, and the narrative of the song.

In Brian Stokes Mitchell’s performance, he possesses great phrasing in which added various layers to the song.

Although, Mark Colby did not perform on college’s stage for many years, he found fast rapport with the audience.

Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" is set in the early days of Puritan America. Hester Prynne, a seamstress, comes to the New World before her husband in order to prepare a place for them. During his absence, she develops a relationship with Arthur Dimmesdale, a rising minister in the newly founded Puritan community. Hester becomes pregnant. The novel is widely viewed to be a story about her trials and tribulations; however, critic Randall Steward argues that, "…Hester is not the protagonist, the chief actor, and the tragedy of the novel is not her tragedy but Arthur's. He is the persecuted one, the tempted one. He it was whom the sorrows of death encompassed…His public confession is one of

Certain songs resonate deep down within one’s soul. The reason may not seem clear, but particular songs cause an effect on a person when they are heard. Many songs cause this reaction, and even though a person cannot quite put his or her finger on the how and why, a person experiences this forever. A song can achieve incredible things. Whether the song lifts someone’s spirits, transports their mind to a time and place long since passed, or breaks their hearts, music is a constant. Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man” may have been overshadowed by the band’s songs “Free Bird” and “Sweet Home Alabama”, but “Simple Man” takes a person back to their childhood, evokes hope, and reminds people that the things needed in life remain simple

The artist wants the audience to feel his substantial affection for Delilah, and how it is unchanging even though they are separated by distance.

In this memoir “Amazing Grace” by Korinthia Klein reveals how something as simple as music could have a profound effect. Further into the story when the narrator finds out when her grandfather was sick, she felt negative emotions such as sadness, wistfulness in g. 1, “He looked so small among all the white sheets, and I had never thought of my grandpa as small in any sense”, but before when her grandfather was still well, she felt positive feelings such as joy and hope as said in pg. 1, “I played my violin for him when he visited, and he loved everything” and “My grandpa used to applaud when I tuned, and I would roll my eyes and shrug off his enthusiasm as too biased”. The author learned that little things such as music can have a deeper meaning

Perhaps you’ll have to hear and feel the music first, to fully grasp this one, but the ability to express yourself, with another person, to beautiful, exciting and passionate music, fulfills a basic human need (that you may not even know you have).

This astounding range of emotions, within just a few bars, was so new to me; at first, I was afraid that I misunderstood the music. I had never heard music with such a strong Romantic style before, but as the concert went on, I let the music wash over myself and lead my imagination to experience Bruckner’s dazzling array of emotions portrayed in this work.

Pieces of my life are attached to those lyrics, and I re-live impromptu dance parties, long car rides, and first dates when a song pops on the radio. I am so versed with the early songs of Taylor Swift that they serve as my go-to white noise playlist, a soothing escape for my senses. It’s become a habit to pull up my Swift playlist in any stressful situation, particularly when up in the air. Songs that I once screamed at the top of my lungs now lull me into a calm, with only a faint impression of the situation that once stirred up such passionate feelings left in the melody. They have not lost their appeal, but they have lost their relevance within my life.

The presentation of these feelings in the lyrics is a combination of negative emotions that conglomerated to create a force strong enough to gain a voice of its own. The poetic voice lacks a specific gender in a successful attempt to let the reader identify
